New Delhi:
Everyone's excited to
watch Salman Khan's Tubelight, which hits the screens today, and so is Telugu actor Allu Arjun, whose
Duvvada Jagannadham (
DJ) also releases today. The 34-year-old actor told
Indian Express that he is not worried about
DJ vs
Tubelight and hopes that moviegoers would enjoy the best film. "First thing is I'm never worried about anything. I wish
Tubelight all the best. I want the best film to be watched, even if it's mine," he said. Allu Arjun's co-star Pooja Hegde (
Mohenjo Daro's Channi) told
Indian Express: "I think that both films will do well because there are different audiences and it's a long weekend. So whoever watches
Tubelight, will also watch
DJ. So I don't see any challenge over there."
Duvvada Jagannadham is written and directed by Harish Shankar, who has earlier made films like
Gabbar Singh and
Subramanyam For Sale. The film, which also stars Rao Ramesh as the main antagonist, got a wide release in Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Telangana and Andhra Pradesh, according to the
Indian Express report.
